About

Hi fellow wine lovers! I’m Leanne, and I started out on this challenge in June 2016 to be the first woman to visit and blog about all 800 wine farms in the Western Cape. My goal is to visit at least 80 farms every fiscal so that the 800th farm can be celebrated by my 40th birthday. – Oh here’s hoping!

 

The Wine Girl Cape Town

 

 

To date, I am a bit behind. Visiting a new wine farm every weekend whilst holding a full time job has its challenges. Phew! That being said, I am still loving it – who needs sleep anyway!   I have the most amazing support from my very British family and crazy, wine fly friends.

 

 

I’m proud to hold an internationally recognised Marketing Degree from the AAA School of Advertising and today, 10 years later, my love for marketing, events and copy-writing has flourished into content creation. What’s next? Conquering the world and buying my own wine farm of course. But for now, that’s a bit expensive so I’m enjoying learning from the experts on every wine farm visit I do.

 

My blog is not so much wine focussed but more about the whole lifestyle associated with wine life in South Africa. Our beautiful scenery, the friendly people and various activities involved in the winemaking process. Can you say that you have played golf, been on a safari, train ride, boat ride, trail runs, underground museums, trams and even segway tours involving wine in your country? I think not – #whatstrending? SA’s trending!

I have been overwhelmed with how quickly this brand has grown. I’m definitely not a wine expert – I am just sharing my experiences and what I have learnt along the way. Meeting new people along this awesome journey and sharing them with you of course!

If you have any requests for co-lab content creation, questions or would just like to say hi, pop me a DM – I will be happy to chat to you! Until then, cheers you lovely winos!

Instagram post 18044292169211063 On a spur of the moment spree, I ventured into the Breedekloof Wine Valley, about an hour’s drive out of Cape Town, on a late Sunday morning when I discovered that Kirabo Private Cellar was one of the only cellars open. Thanks to Google! Winery 117 of 800! .
.
.

Kirabo Private Cellar is a family-run grape farm going back 6 generations! It was only in 2009 that the family decided to make their own wine and today even make their own beer called Broer Beer. There are 5 wines available for wine tasting at R5 a glass with some pretty good servings. They only produce red wine such as Merlot, Shiraz, Petit Verdot, a Barrel’s End blend and Cupcake (off-dry) all barrel matured and handcrafted. @kirabo_cellar @breedekloof_wine_valley #kirabocellar #kiraboprivatecellar #breedekloof #breedekloofvalley #breedekloofwinevalley #breedekloofwines #sawine #wosa #southafricanwines #satourism #tourcapetown #wine #winefarm #winefarmcapetown #winefarmsouthafrica #capewinelands #explorebreedekloof #explorecapetown #winegirl #winery #winerysouthafrica #southafricanwinery

Instagram post 17872849252497845 Happy world Carménère day! This is a one of a kind for South Africa, only 700 bottles of this baby were produced and for only R120 a bottle, it’s a real steal! .
.
Lozärn Wines comes from the Robertson region and are the champions of the carménère grape variety on home soil. In 2012, winemaker Salóme Buys-Vermeulen was enjoying a fine Chilean carménère with husband, Sybrand and a friend. She says it “was love at first sip”. This moment led to her planting a carménère vineyard in 2014. From this block Lozärn Wines produced the first single-varietal carménère in South Africa. The Carménère Rosé 2019 has just been released to market. .
.
Enjoy notes of candyfloss, strawberries and Pink Lady apples. “It’s a wine for the setting of the summer sun; pair with prosciutto, Brie and tapas, and good company,” says Salóme. Carménère Rosé 2019 (R120.00) are available through www.lozarn.co.za as well as specific outlets.
